Joseph Sanders Haas, Jr. v. City of Nashua & a.

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

SUPREME COURT

In Case No. 2019-0295, Joseph Sanders Haas, Jr. v. City of
Nashua & a., the court on October 25, 2019, issued the following
order:

Having considered the briefs, the memorandum of law, and the record
submitted on appeal, we conclude that oral argument is unnecessary in this
case. See Sup. Ct. R. 18(1). We affirm.

The plaintiff, Joseph Sanders Haas, Jr., appeals an order of the Superior
Court (Colburn, J.) dismissing his small claim against the defendants,
McLaughlin Transportation Systems, Inc. (McLaughlin) and the City of Nashua,
for failure to state a claim. We construe his brief to argue that: (1) excluding him
from a public auction held on McLaughlin’s private property violated his rights
because the auction was open to the public; and (2) because city police officers,
on a private detail, excluded him from McLaughlin’s private property, the city
also violated his rights.

As the appealing party, the plaintiff has the burden of demonstrating
reversible error. Gallo v. Traina, 166 N.H. 737, 740 (2014). Based upon our
review of the trial court’s well-reasoned order, the plaintiff’s challenges to it, the
relevant law, and the record submitted on appeal, we conclude that the plaintiff
has not demonstrated reversible error. See id.

Affirmed.

Hicks, Bassett, and Donovan, JJ., concurred.

Clerk
